what is the technical definition of a groupie?

it's not like i go to EVERY show, i mean, i skipped the zurich show 2 days ago. but i did make my way to milan last night for one last hurrah with cake (because soon i'll be unemployed and there will definitely be no hurrah-ing when that day comes.) when i saw they were coming to milan i immediately bought a ticket and didn't think for one minute about logistics, which is why, after another stellar show, i found myself wandering the unfamiliar streets of milan at 2 am. the subway was closed, making me miss my last train to switzerland. finally, i was able to get a taxi to the train station...which was also closed, so, just like a homeless person, i hunkered down outside the train station and tried to get some sleep. i hung out with 2 kids (oh my word, they were early twenties and i just called them "kids") who had been to a metallica/megadeth/anthrax/slayer concert along with a million other guys in metallica t-shirts who were my competition for a taxi. finally, the train station opened and i sat on the platform waiting for my train where i met a guy from angola. we awkwardly (it was in italian) chatted for 30 minutes before the conversation took an ugly turn:

creepster: can i have a kiss?
me (sliding away): no
creepster: take me to america.
me (standing up): please stop touching me.
creepster: but i love you.
me: you don't know me.
creepster: i've known you for one hour:
me: good bye.
creepster: let's make a baby.

oh, gross. but my train came and i escaped, only to fall into the clutches of a peruvian man who wanted to inform me of his entire love history. i rudely fell asleep while he was talking and i did not feel one bit bad about it. i made it back to school just in time for breakfast, zombied my way through classes, and slept right through my next duty. (oops.)

BUT. it was totally worth it. i only wish i'd gone to zurich, too.

plus, it's an added bonus that i can add "sleeping on the streets of milan" to my ever growing list of "things i'd never hoped to do and thank goodness it's over now and also, thank goodness i didn't die."
